Book Reviews of the Dragons of the Highlord Skies (Dragon Lance: The Lost Chronicles, Vol. 2)
Customer Review: Weis and Hickman rediscover their muse
Summary: 5 Stars
After the somewhat sub-par writing present in the first book of 'The Lost Chronicles,' I bought this book with a mild sense of trepidation. Like many, many avid fantasy readers I fell utterly in love with the characters of the original Chronicles, which remains a classic text of contemporary fantasy writing. The prospect of revisiting old friends and experiencing untold tales was seductive and intoxicating (when I first read about the upcoming 'Lost Chronicles' I performed a fairly silly dance of joy in my living room).
The second text in the series shores up Weis and Hickman's signature style of prose. These are the fine writers who spelled out the epic of Raistlin's fall and redemption. These are the great storytellers who guided us through the horrors of the Chaos War. Derek and his fellow knights are brought to the fore, fleshed out as excellent and sympathetic protagonists caught in the tide of war. Kitiara has returned, crooked smile resplendant. And Laurana finds her footing as a leader, paving the route to her stint as the Golden General.
Weis and Hickman have successfully emulated the tone of the original Chornicles, spelling out a twisted tale of intrigue, sorcery and friendship. I'm eagerly awaiting the 2008 publication of the series finale.
